Don’t treat household hazardous waste like garbage.
Household hazardous waste includes corrosive, flammable or poisonous materials like
pesticides, automotive oil, aerosols, prescription medicine, batteries and mercury-
containing items, to name a few. Putting these materials in your garbage or recycling,
or pouring them down your drain, contaminates water and landfills.
